OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION

He became famous in Europe with Italian westerns such as “For a Fistful of Dollars”, then made the leap to Hollywood with the success of “Two Magnificent Scoundrels”, where he became a cult figure with “Dirty Harry”, before becoming a director himself and winning Oscars as such with “Merciless” and “Million Dollar Baby”: Clint Eastwood, this legend of the silver screen, celebrates his 94th birthday in May 2024. Clint’s son Kyle Eastwood is a jazz musician – and here, together with hand-picked partners, including Gast Waltzing on the conductor’s podium, he transposes the great soundtracks of his father’s films into his own world of sound. Cinematic excitement for the ears!
